Yassou Benedict Concert

Hi everyone,
The aforementioned water concert is a go!
Yassou Benedict is performing on Sunday, July 3rd at 3:00 at PS21 in Chatham. Admission is $5 for all at the door (well, tents don't have doors, but...). This is a great local band- I'm really excited.
Hope to see you there! As always, feel free to contact me with questions.

Benefit Concert!

Hi all!
I just wanted to notify you of an upcoming benefit event. On the third of July (a Sunday), the fabulous band Yassou Benedict will perform at PS21 in Chatham, NY. Details about time/cost will follow shortly! As always, please feel free to contact me (hannahbloom94@yahoo.com) with any questions about the project or the event.
Happy Summer!

Upcoming Events for the Water Project!

Hey everyone!
I just wanted to keep you all in the loop as to what I'm currently working on. (:
First, there was a lovely article on this project in the Chatham Courier a few weeks ago! Check it out if you can. I also presented before the Hudson Rotary Club and the lovely people there are donating part of the proceeds of their March 31 Fool's Run (on Warren Street- registration is $15 now or come early and pay $20 the day of- the running starts at 8) to the Water Project!
I'm figuring out a sock fundraiser/bake sale to take place next month, probably at St. James. Watch this space as I figure out details and post updates!
Also, the logistics of a June concert are being configured right now. Again, I'll post updates as soon as I know, but we have a tentative date and an AWESOME band.
Please feel free to email me (hannahbloom94@yahoo.com) with any questions or comments.
Thanks for your support!
Hannah

Rotary Presentation

On Thursday, January 13, I gave a presentation about the Malawi Water Project to the Rotary Club in Ghent. The club was more than welcoming, and my father and I had a lovely lunch with the members.
Big thanks to Laurie Quinn for coordinating the event. I do hope to be back sometime soon!

P.S. I'm working on ways to get my powerpoint onto this blog... check for updates. (:

water walk!

Thank you so much to everyone who volunteered for, walked in, donated to, and supported the October 24th Water Walk. Participants walked around the fields of the Farm at Miller's Crossing carrying jugs of water to get a glimpse into the daily lives of Malawian girls. Afterwards, they enjoyed apples and doughnuts from Samascott's Orchards, cider from LoveApple Farm, and ice cream from LICK.

Amy Hart, director of the documentary Water First and catalyst for the Water Project, came all the way from New York City to participate.

This event would not have been possible without kind donations from local businesses: Nolita, Fingar Insurance, Hudson Wine Merchants, Jennifer and Wolfgang Stockmeier, Philmont Family Dentistry, and of course the Farm at Miller's Crossing. 

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who participated in any way! We made over $600 to build wells in Malawi. 

WATER WALK!

a water walk at 3:00 on sunday, october 24th. come walk around the fields at the farm at miller's crossing (carrying water if you want to go the next step) to gain a deeper appreciation of what young women in malawi have to do every single day. registration is day of (we don't do fancy) and suggested donation is $10 and $20 for families, but don't let that keep you away; just come and give whatever you can. there will be delicious treats following the short walk (think local ice cream and doughnuts! yay!). 100% of the profits will go directly to Pure Water for the World and benefit their efforts in Malawi.

can't come? you can donate anyway! www.purewaterfortheworld.org

thanks to the following organizations and individuals that made this possible: Philmont Family Dentistry, Fingar Insurance, Nolita, Hudson Wine Merchants, LICK, Samascott Orchards, Wolfgang and Jennifer Stockmeier, and of course The Farm at Miller's Crossing.
